Thank you for trying to correct the Red Sea article. However, I undid it because the Erythraean Sea is an ancient name for the Red Sea, used long before there was a country called Eritrea. Art LaPella (talk) 17:31, 26 May 2018 (UTC)

Erythaean
Hi, Sue2765. Regarding the above, I've just reverted your recent restoration of "Eritrean Sea" as an alternative name for the Red Sea. "Erythraean" doesn't refer to the country of Eritrea. It's simply a Romanised version of ερυθρóς (erythros), meaning "red". Thus, the Anglicised version "Red Sea". Eritrea took its name from the Sea, not vice versa. Thanks for reading this.
